Format:
LB rt, offset (base)
Description:
The 16-bit
offset
is sign-extended and added to the contents of general register
base
to form a virtual address.
The contents of the byte at the memory location specified by the effective address are sign-extended and loaded
into general register
rt
.
Operation:
32 T:
vAddr ← ((offset
15
)
16
|| offset
15..0
) + GPR [base]
(pAddr, uncached) ← AddressTranslation (vAddr, DATA)
pAddr ← p

PSIZE - 1..3
|| (pAddr
2..0
xor ReverseEndian
3
)
mem ← LoadMemory (uncached, BYTE, pAddr, vAddr, DATA)
byte ← vAddr
2..0
xor BigEndianCPU
3
GPR [rt] ← (mem
7 + 8* byte
)
24
|| mem
7 + 8* byte..8* byte
64 T:
